This Notebook presents a collection of texts from the Deus Ex Machina collective, which includes critics, journalists, sound composers, and illustrators discussing criticism, design, narrative, genre, game mechanics, and more.


Issue No. 1 of DEUS EX MACHINA: Notebook of Machines and Games is divided into two parts: an Archive of digital content from the collective's website in 2014 and Letters written for this volume by industry professionals and analysts.


With nearly fifty texts, this volume explores three key areas:

  • Independent video games, which can afford to explore bolder territories outside the industrial machinery.

  • Narratological mechanisms, which align video games with theater, cinema, and literature.

  • Social responsibility, focusing on diversity, inclusivity, and gender perspectives in both development and gaming culture.


Deus Ex Machina tackles these themes in a thoughtful and comprehensive way, offering a deep dive into the world of video games. Published by Sello ArsGames, the book features detailed design and illustrations by numerous artists, adding to the essential analyses within.
